Yamie Chess - K-8 Educational Math Learning Game

Made in the USA

Yamie Chess is much more than just an average chess game! Dive into a magical cartoon universe in which the characters are the chess pieces! Enter the fantasy world "Snowmelt" through the included illustrated comic and meet Tigermore and the Mind Angels, the characters that correspond to the "light pieces", and Vigdor and the Chromemunchers, the characters that correspond to the "dark pieces". Each chess piece features an image of its corresponding character on its bottom. Follow the story as Kimi, a boy genius from New York, journeys to The Mind Kingdom, a place that can only be reached by going to sleep in a hospital operation, to help Tigermore and the Mind Angels win checkmate against Vigdor and the Chromemunchers!

Yamie Chess: The Adventures of Tigermore & The Mind Angels features a 260-page educational comic that masterfully introduces the game of chess through a fun and creative story that kids will love! The Yamie Chess comic book is in black and white so that it doubles as a coloring book and includes colored pencils!

Yamie Chess is the result of years of development through collaboration with a STEM advisory group of professional engineers, math educators, and scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Universtiy of Arizona, Columbia University, Stanford University, and Vanderbilt University working together with 2-time USA women's chess champion and Women's Grandmaster Jennifer Shahade. Their goal is to improve K-8 students' learning outcomes in math and science education. The resulting Yamie Chess game is an educational classic chess school assistant series, designed to help children in the kindergarten to 8th grade bracket develop better math, science, and problem solving skills, while improving their critical thinking and cognitive logical ability.
